An old mate of mine has age and ill health catching up with him… Basically he used to work his bollocks off, but now his kidneys are fucked… Paid in all his life and all that and he is now looking for a job with less hours and to work around his routine (he’s now on all kinds of pills and stuff)… He doesn’t want to give up work and do fuck all, but he wants to wind down a bit and take his declining condition into account… Those lovely people at JCP (cunts) told him to go to these people: claiming they can help him with his health issues and ‘work’ with him…. Only one problem with that though… It’s total fucking bollocks…. Here is the lowdown (from him to me) on these buffoons…
1. Did not know what CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) was. His ‘Key Worker’ (whatever that is) simply asked ‘What’s that?’
2. Showed little to no concern when told about CKD and what is was.
3. Did not even look at any of the Hospital or Consultant paperwork, official symptoms list (done by GP) or Doctor’s dictation he brought with him as evidence of health condition.
4. Did not ask about any symptoms or medication, or how it effects day to day life.
5. Because CKD is an unseen physical condition – as opposed to a visible disability or a problem like drug addiction, alcoholism or anxiety – he did not feel it was taken seriously. In fact, he knows he bloody wasn’t.
6. Although the scheme is titled the Work and Health Programme, he felt that little to no emphasis was put on actual health issues (which he does genuinely have) and was told that medical records, Hospital paperwork, medication details and test results were not needed. The ‘Heallth’ part of the scheme’s title seems to have little to no relevance.
7. It appears blatantly to be more about fulfilling targets and getting people into work – any work – regardless of health issues or individual cases. My mate was made to feel more like a ‘rank and file’ nobody and malingerer, instead of a person seeking employment as best and as suitably as possinle in his situation (which he does and has done).
8. Saw another ‘health professional’ there (separate to the clunk he had already seen) and they also didn’t know what CKD was and ignored any official medical notes, tests or paperwork. All but ignored his list of symptoms and did a stupid ‘ice breaker’ session where the silly cow wrote ‘key words’ on a board… For fuck’s sake, eh?…. Absolutely useless….
9. Every time he goes in there he is greeted with a ‘friendly face’ i.e: false bonhomie, and the minute he sits down he is never asked how his medical situation is. He’s then immediately shoehorned into either taking a job he either can’t do or doesn’t want. When he mentioned his health, all he got was ‘Well, if you can walk here, you can work’. He attempted in vain to explain that CKD is much more complicated than that and all he got was ‘Well, you should apply for ESA then’. Naturally these sods offered him no help and advice at all with this statement and my pal knows only too well that claiming for ESA is harder than pulling teeth… Only smackheads, pisspots, ex-cons, transbenders and foreigners get the fucking thing… The English working man or woman is at the bottom of the list….
Now, this pal of mine is a good old boy, a nice lad and has been a grafter all his life… But when he needs help like he does now, he’s not getting it… It’s simply filling quotas, setting targets and he could die for all this lot care, as long as they have ‘done their job’ and crossed him off their list… Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Great Britain and how it now treats its people… A combination of the workhouse and the scrapyard.
He was also told by these fuckers to lie to potential employees and businesses. My mate was told to keep his medical issues from firms to ‘get his foot in the door’. Which basically means be dishonest and if he dies on their premises then it’s tough shit on them (the company) and him. Obvious they want hin to lie so he will get work -any work- and they can cross another off their quota list. Morally bankrupt corrupt pigs.
And now with this virus thing going on, my mate is officially in the high risk category. But these Ingeus fuckers are still mithering him about ASDA needing extra staff to help with the demand because of Covid-19 and asking him about ‘online courses’ when he has told them time and again that he is not interested. He did tell the daft bitch that the Doctor told him in writing not to leave the house and that he had to self isolate… What part of that didn’t they fucking get?! Cunts!
